Ultimately, the daily export of Iranian oil to China has increased on average to 1.5 million barrels per day, a peak since 2018. The publication highlights that this was one of the reasons for the recent drop in oil prices.
On the other hand, Russian oil shipments by sea over the past month have fallen to 2.84 million barrels, 1.5 million barrels less than in mid-May. Overall, its supplies to Asia have dropped by 30% over this period.
